Shakshuka is so awesome - fairly simple meal to make, but so savory!
I agree, and it’s full of vegetables! This ended up being 3 eggs, 2 tomatoes, 1/2 of a bell pepper, and 1/4 of an onion.
I recently made my first shakshuka as well! So damn tasty.
That looks so tasty!!
I think the time has come for me to try to make this.
It’s stupidly easy and works well with any sauce that you’re happy to dip bread in.
Do tell. Other sauces? Bread dipping?
Pan-fried eggs in sauce is a really versatile technique. I think what tried to say was that any quality of tomato sauce you like will work well to make a good shakshuka, from jarred to freshly made. But you can also use other sauces: green salsa, and pesto eggs are good too. I do like to have some kinda starch ready, if it’s saucy. Or just for runny yolks. Pita, tortilla, crusty loaf; whatever’s most appreciate
foodporn content is so much better here than on Reddit. It’s refreshing.
I had shakshuka for dinner tonight too. It was greens-based rather than tomato-based but still delicious.
That 29 year old single girl did a great job.
I have no idea what you’re talking about haha. Care to enlighten me?
Looks so good!
I want some!
Any recipes you would recommend I start with? I’ve heard of but never tried this dish and I’d like to experiment :D
It’s so easy, and you can serve it directly from the cooking pan! :)
- Bring a stainless steel or nonstick pan up to medium temp, then add in enough olive oil to coat the pan
- Crank some fresh cracked pepper into the pan and fry for a minute or two
- Dice 1/4 onion and cook it until it’s translucent
- Dice 1/2 a pepper and cook until it’s softening
- Quarter 2 tomatoes and add them to the pan.
- Once they become soft, pull the skins off your tomatoes with tongs and mash the remaining flesh into a pulp
- Toss in oregano and salt to taste.
- Cook until things go from runny water to jammy sauce, about 5 minutes
- Make divot in the sauce and crack an egg into each void, salting the eggs for taste
- For set tops, cook the eggs covered for 3 minutes or so
- Remove from heat when eggs are about halfway to your desired texture
- Serve with parsley garnish and enjoy!
